On that Darkest day during the 2nd world war on 7th March 1941, This day became known as “Black Friday.” That sad afternoon when the enemy attacked with 10 bombs. The outcry in mourning and pain for years to come, 41 workers were killed. Many families and friends were badly injured or without a love one. On that afternoon the first air raid siren alert was sounded at 13.35 and 5 minutes later at 1.40pm when a Enemy Heinkel 111 made its 1st pass over the factory at 1,000 feet when four 500 lb bombs were dropped on the works and the bombs deternated. Two hit the factory, One hit the edge of the works and another hit the works shelter at the back of Stanley Street. The plane then turned west and circled around before dropping one 1,000 ld bomb which failed to explode. The factory was also machine gunned before leaving. At 14.24 the Alert was sounded and another enemy plane attacked the works while rescuers were assisting the casualties. It dropped four 500 lb bombs lucky failed and didn’t exploded but one 1,000 did exploded causing a number of casualties and some damage. Two minutes Two minutes isn’t much to give, To those who fought and died, And not forgetting loved ones, Who Till this day have cried.
